: A long while ago I read a fantasy book, but I forgot its name and author. I HAVE to remember.. so I'm writing here a few things I remember from the book, with hope that some of you read it and could tell me its name.

: It begins with a girl running away from her home.. some kind of an issue with her mother I think. She runs to her favorite place, a lighthouse, though there's no ocean near it, just a lot of weeds and sand. Then she meets this guy who has several heads. He tells her that they're in danger, and this monster comes and is looking for him (or her too). They try to hide but it ends up with her running away from the monster and up the lighthouse stairs and there's some kind of fight. Afterwards, she notices suddenly that the sand near the lighthouse is beach sand, and suddenly an ocean appears or something. Than she's carried away to far away places, weird cities with weird creatures.. and there is some dark lord i think that's after her...

: Anyone that could help, please do. I'd be grateful for any info.

: Jonathan

Hmmm...kind of sounds like Abarat by Clive Barker, but it's been a while since I read that.
